Their wepoÌ„s armor was lost by gods puruciaÌ„ce They did I assure you behaue themselues nobly To requite the kings grace they had good perseuerance Pondeâ—ing the preferment by his magnanimitie This notwithstanding the commons besides Doncaster Ascribed a Carter to a King coequall in degrée With coshe Crommoke coshe I would we had thée here Like sauage beastes loosed and put to their libertie Enioying in the splendent after obscuritie Deuising and inuenting Articles presumptuous Euery one discording from other verily Two Gentlemen did open their quarel contentious But one lanterne of Englande and patrone of defence A shield for vs Borials and floure of audacitie The Duke of Norfolke with all his violence To the kings armie Royall to Doncaster came he With the noble prince Pere of the kings consanguinitie The Marques of Exeter nigh to the bloud Royall With the auncient Lord th therle of Shrewesbury Whose truthe in decrepitie approueth the tryall Their veritie to their Prince my hart hath enrachened Like a woman rauished with the rase of loue esprised And many nobles mo them selues so well demeaned That of me their worthynesse it can not be deuised As Th erle of Surrey with these Earles comprised That is to say of Huntington and Rutlande also With many other nobles which was there surmised And as for Lords honorable there was many mo Thus lay they in Doncaster with Curtall Serpentine With Bombard Basilisk with men prone vigorous The Commons knew it not to them it was claudestine That made them more malapart and also more rigorous For they sent home for money their harts was so furious Purposing openly at London to holde a Parliament But the king herauld came to know their minds furious Uiewing them twise or thrise with faire words diligeÌ„t But ere the Battell was ready procincte and proponed Sir Arthure Darcy knight with the coÌ„mons was segregate And fled to the kings grace and by the way commoned With the duke of Norff. where promtly he promulgate All the Commons priuitie and I suppose effugate He was by the consent of his brother confiducion For at the first rising sir George with letters ornate Aduertised all gentlemen to leaue that ill conclusion But wheÌ„ the duke of Norf. of the Barons had intelligeÌ„ce And so many knights squires with the coÌ„mons in defeÌ„ce It incrampished his hart that they should make pretence Weying his fathers honor by their magnificence Their antique zeale amitie he thought to recompence Bringing both the parts to a communication So diuers of the principals met with diligence Concluding a purpose with good deliberation So sir Rafe Ellerker and Robert Bowes Esquire With the articles intitled went to the kings maiestie The battels both prorumped and went euery where For the duke behight to intercéede in their sedulitie In causes reasonable but not in their cecitie And so within a moneth according to promission An answere correspondent to their secularitie Was made by the kings grace to their whole petition The firste Article To the first article Fayth the kings grace replied It was a terme to general that which they did present But if they meaned christes faith he was the prince the certified That the sincere puritie therof was his intent And like a valiaunt prince he spake these words vrgent Who dare set his foote to ours the contrary to proue And said he reckned learned he was what the faith ment Marueling that the ignorant in this thing shold him moue To the Article To know which fayth was prudeÌ„ce perceiuing we Christians He hath herd of such heresies as of the Selcucians Of Sabelline and Neotus with the Patrispassians The Origenistes the Ebionites and the Donacianes The Epicures the Iacobites with the Nestoriens Of Seuerus of Menander and eke of Valentine The Antropomorphites and also the Spalmeniens The Ariens and Manacheis of Pallas and Scotine Also of Marcio Basillid es and Saturnius Of Carpocrates of Photyne and of Macedonius Of Chiliastes of Corinthius and of Heluidius Of Eutiches Galanus and also Seleucius Of Eunonius Elsesates with many a secte mo Of Montanus of Apelles and also Nouatus And Samosatenses and Appolinarius also With Antichrist the Romane the Idoll monstruous This is the groue image which the sinful world Manasses Put in the congregation the house perpetuall This is the Idoll shepheard which Zachary doth expresse And also the deuourer the false God Baall An vnshamefull King with faces Daniell doth him call This is the Iudge in earth in the xviij of Luke expressed For wée haue lost our Husband Chryst with his bloud royal And Sathan our enimie he is not yet oppressed This is the childe of perdition prophesied of by Paule In our conscience sitting Gods Temple verament The Apocalips fysgyg the whoore Babilonicall Of whom Prophets Apostles rehearseth words tâ—rgâ—t Nowe to this particle fayth was it not expedient They to haue recognised what fayth was their intention For besides Christs faith there reigneth faithes negligeÌ„t As Turke Iew Pagane with Mahâ—mites inuention As touching Christes faith sithence Christes incarnation Neither Emperour nor king nor prince of nobilitie Was like to the kings grace for in his conuocation The Anabaptists and Pelagians confuted hath he And permitted shadowes positiue of olde antiquitie For error of the people by a new altercation And also shewed like Gods knight elect in fidelitie Chrystes bloud and his death with the true iustification Of Fayth But to the misbeléeuers I put this proposition By way of interrogatorie if one of them should dye And know no refuge nor no propiciation But in Mormet in fistill they should euer lye And the prince they offended should fortune come theÌ„ by And say loue my friends and forgiue as I will thée And when thou can not repent my sonne shal for thée die And doo but this to day and rewarded shalt thou bée For to morrow thy riches shal abounde like to Croesus Thy force â–ª like Hercules thy sapience like Salomon Thou shalt haue meates delicate far aboue Vitellus In fame like Alexander thy fortune like Gedeon The luste of Augustus the pulchritude of Absolon The science of Aristotle and his Philosophie As facunde in Rethorike as was king Amphion With the health of Galen and age of Methusalie What man liuing considering this gratitude But for loue of this Prince feare of this miserie And for hope of this ioy but with his fortitude He would one day labour and suffer aduersitie And passe for no riches nor yet of iocunditie Nor of no fortune dolorous nor yet of no payne Nor of meate drinke ne cloth ne no felicitie But would fayne haue to morrow this glory to obtayne Then may we consider Adams disobedience By whose transgression equitie hath giuen death eternal And as for Moyses law it gathered more offence To the highe deitie and Plasmator potentiall Tooke pitie and mercy to make his sonne carnall And Sathanas hath loste him for all his temptation
